WB's Justice League 2017 movie pre-discussion thread

Morpheus 02 said:
I definitely don't

With Cavill...I think the ACTOR is a great fit for the role, but I agree... Snyder did him a huge disservice. We haven't had a "mature" Superman to have an "evil" Superman be a good storyline. Hmm... speaking of which... would an "Earth 3" type of storyline be feasible for a MOVIE? If you wanted dark characters, THAT would be the way to explore it.

Also, is there any word on who the 7th Justice Leaguer will be? Most likely Green Lantern..but which one? ANd will it be at the end?

I think the word is that there isn't a 7th JLer. Not yet, at least. Unite the Seven was supposedly an Aquaman reference (7 seas).
 
It seems like the evil Superman theory is pretty much debunked. I could envision a scene like in JL War where Superman is in Darksied's custody.

I'm more hyped for this movie than I have been for pretty much any other post-Nolan superhero movie.

There won't be a 7th Justice Leaguer in JL1. So no Green Lantern... yet.

After Green Latern Corps movie comes out, WB will add the most popular character from that movie into the Justice Leage team for the sequel.

My money is on John Stewart or Hal Jordan as the GL that's on the team.

As long as Geoff Johns is in charge of DC's movies, the lead Green Lantern will always be Hal.

I don't think this is true. Hal hasn't been a Justice League member since 2012 in the comics. Currently Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz are the Green Lanterns on the Justice League. Both of those characters would be great additions to the DCEU.

(would be cool if they also made a real LEGO Justice League Movie eventually ;) )
 
So, all you guys who think the press have it in for the DCEU are going to love this story:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...as-warner-bros-plots-franchise-future-1023296

Ben Affleck is heading to Comic-Con this weekend to promote Warner Bros.’ upcomingJustice League movie, set for a Nov. 17 release. But how many more times is he likely to put on the Batsuit? Probably not many, if ever again.

Yes, Warners’ film studio chief Toby Emmerich tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Ben is our Batman. We love him as Batman. We want to keep him in the cowl as long as we can." And Matt Reeves, who will direct the studio’s still-undated (and unwritten) The Batman, has said that he means to keep Affleck in the role. But a source with knowledge of the situation says that the studio is working on plans to usher out Affleck’s Batman — gracefully, addressing the change in some shape or form in one of the upcoming DC films.

Exactly when and how that might happen has yet to be determined, but it would be wise to bet against Affleck starring in The Batman. Already he has stepped away from directing the film and Reeves is dropping the script that Affleck wrote with D.C. Entertainment’s Geoff Johns.

Reeves also has acknowledged that he has a Batman trilogy rolling around in his head, and given his success making two-thirds of a trilogy out of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes, it seems fair to anticipate that Warners will want him to realize his vision.

In addition, Affleck will turn 45 in August, so he would be pushing 50 before The Batman arrives in theaters. If Reeves makes a trilogy, Affleck would be in his mid-50s at best by the time that’s done. Maybe Tom Cruise could pull that off but Affleck’s body hasn’t exactly been a temple.

And while male stars have been able to stretch their action-film relevance further in an age when there are fewer bankable young stars (Robert Downey, Jr. is 52 and going strong as Iron Man), studios favor the fresh-faced — look what happened with Spider-Man, successfully rebooted with 21-year-old Tom Holland. (Affleck also just dropped out of the Netflix project Triple Frontier, and it’s not clear what his next movie will be. His reps declined to comment.)

Warners could hypothetically create dual Batmen, keeping Affleck in the role for a planned Justice League follow-up while letting Reeves cast his movie with a different star. But that hardly seems likely. The first Justice Leaguealready is at an inflection point: Director Zack Snyder has stepped away in mid-production and his successor, Joss Whedon, is said to be doing extensive reshoots. (Note that Justice League member Superman is played by Henry Cavill, 34, The Flash is Ezra Miller, 24, Aquaman is Jason Momoa, 37, and Wonder Woman is 32-year-old Gal Gadot.) And a second Justice League movie would be years down the road. THR reported Thursday that Shazam!, with a yet-to-be-cast title star, will be the next DC movie to shoot.

I hope it's bullshit, like oh so many DCEU rumours.

Affleck is a great Batman and it would be a shame to lose him, but if he really wants to leave the role it wouldn't be the first time the Bat has been recast... :shrug:

If they wanna make a new Batman trilogy with a younger actor, they have plenty of in-universe room for prequels. As for going forward, I guess Dick could take over the cowl, however if we're already going off the usual script, I would vote for Batwoman to take the Bat place in the Justice League :techman:
 
You know, maybe I should start my own rumor one day. Just to see how many people pick up and recite a vague assertion, with innuenndo regarding a project/actor's dissatifaction, with unnamed "sources" (which I will also make-up) that allegedly told me this information.

I can only do this with a WB movie though. Because despite the volume of other super hero properties produced by Disney, Sony, Fox and AMC, only WB seems to have a never ending stream of official "sources" and leakers who talk to the media. Hmmmm, I wonder why that is? :p


In other news, a new Justice League trailer drops tomorrow.
